Just curious when does a system become "core"able? Like, I'm guessing Switch cores are forbidden because Nintendo will come after you.

Well, I wouldn’t call the Switch or WiiU Retro. Besides, Yuzu emulator is far from stable right now and you need a super powerfull PC just like with RPCS3.

1. Emulators are not ilegal, nobody is coming after you for using them.
2. Core in RetroArch is the core functions of an emulator so if there's not an emulator for a platform is imposible to have a core from that emulator
3. Backward compatibility is the key I have cartridges from my gameboy, why nintendo doesn't create a cartridges hub with usb C cable and let me play them in my switch. MS Xbox has backward compatibility and you can't find an emulator for Xbox consoles, They are still selling old games like Ninja Gaiden Black in their digital store

Xbox emulators definitely exist. Search for "Xemu" for OG Xbox and "Xenia" for X360. However, they are extremely unstable and will take several years to get them to the level of stability as something like "Dolphin" or even "RPCS3" for that matter.

So my dreams of playing Breath of the Wild on PC (so I don't have to use clown sticks for camera control) are many years away. A shame.

Try it on Cemu, WiiU emulator. It's more stable than Yuzu and you're playing the exact same game. I think the Controller screen is optional.
